Medical Terminology
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes!
What is Cranial or Superior?
These type of channels open in respond to a change in membrane potential
What are Voltage-Gated ion channels?
Skin, Muscles, and Joints are examples of these types of Neurons
What are Unipolar Neurons?
This specific receptor corresponds with the Sympathetic nervous system
What is norepinephrine?
This is the enzyme specific for breaking down Acetylcholine
What is Acetylcholinesterase?
The name of the fin on the back of a Dolphin
What is Dorsal?
This ion stops diffusing when electrical potential is equal to the force of concentration gradient
What is K+ (Potassium)?
Like a house, this is the insulation of a neuron, allowing for an increase of nerve impulse speed
What is Myelin?
These are the names of the locations that norepinephrine acts at, respectively: Post-Synapse, Pre-Synapse, and Circulating Hormones
What are Alpha 1, Alpha 2, and Beta 2 receptors?
This is the enzyme specific for the generation of Acetylcholine
What is Choline Acetyltransferase?
This is a term that means closer to the surface
What is Superficial?
This is the corresponding value for a neuron at resting potential
What is -70mV?
These types of neurons are found in the cerebellum and are in charge of motor functions
What are Purkinje Neurons?
These are receptors present in the motor end plate in the skeletal muscle (somatic nervous system)
What are Nicotinic II receptors?
When the neurotransmitter is released and interacts with the receptor, this is the action in response
What is Termination?
This the the physiological response produced by the body due to a lack of oxygen
What is Hypoxia?
This is the value that corresponds with an excitation threshold when signaling an action potential
What is -55mV?
These types of neurons are found in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus and are in charge of memory, attention, language, and thoughts
What are Pyramidal Cells?
This receptor molecule tends to slow the heartbeat, promotes digestion and elimination, stimulate digestive gland secretion, and increase peristalsis
What is acetylcholine?
This enzyme is also synthesized in the soma and transported to the terminal along the axon by this specific type of transport
What is anterograde transport?
Your left arm is opposite of that of your right
What is Ipsilateral?
Sodium is influxed in this step of action potential and Potassium is influxed in this other step of action potential, respectively
What is Depolarization and Repolarization?
Types of Glia Cells in the PNS and CNS
What are Satellite, Schwann, Oligodendrites, Astrocytes, Microglia, and Ependymal cells?
This is a poison found in many items that yields sympathetic overactivity and neuromuscular dysfunction and include tachycardia, hypertension, dilated pupils, muscle fasciculation, and muscle weakness.
What is Nicotine?
The official title of these 5 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors: Forebrain, Heart, Smooth Muscle & Exocrine, Neostritatum, and the Brain
What are M1, M2, M3, M4, M5?
